A deposition of a witness residing in Baltimore taken under a *5dedimus, by virtue of the laws of Virginia, was offered by the plaintiff. The deposition was taken in chief. The Court decided that the deposition, being taken in chief, must be read, unless the defendant could prove that the witness was within reach of the process of this Court. The defendant not being able to prove that, the depositión was read. (See Collins v. Lowry, 2 Wash. 75.)
